New Camera

We bought a new camera to indulge this crazy new passion we have for photographing all the beautiful things we see. It's a Panasonic DMC-FZ20. It's a Point and Shoot Camera with a Leica telephoto lens. It has 12X Optical Zoom and a 4X Digital Zoom. This first example was shot from the back door. Each of these photos was taken from the very same spot-- the camera was on a tripod.No zoom

The second example is shot with the full 12X optical feature. This purple lupine is about 80 feet from our door.12X Optical Zoom

The third example additionally magnifies the image 4X digitally. We are very satisfied with the results.Digital Zoom 4X
